Lane Community Collese 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' Vol. 23, No./ November 4 - N 22btt 10, 1982 . Anti-nukers converge at 'Die-In' by Marti Wyman TORCH Staff Writer "A one-megaton nuclear weapon has just been detonated at 11th and Jefferson streets in Eugene. _You have eight seconds to live. "Five seconds later nothing remains of downtown Eugene. Instantly destroyed are the Eugene Hospital, Valley Lane Hospital and Sacred Heart. At the same moment, all of the government buildings are destroyed. "Ninety-eight percent of the inhabitants in this zone will die immediately. The survivors will die within hours. "Lane Community College is only a shell, its windows and insides (human occupants included) are blown out by the_ blast." These are portions of the opening speech explaining the theoretical results of a nuclear attack. The speech was given by University of Oregon graduate student Micheal Sheehan at the Nuclear Die-Ip held Nov. 1 in the UO Erb Memorial Union courtyard. Sheehan gave his speech to approximately 150 "dying" nuclear victims and surrounding listeners. A panel discussion followed the demonstration and included UO professors Barbara Corrado Pope, Women's Studies Program; Albert Szymanski, Sociology; Aaron Novick, Biology; Arthur Hanhardt, Political Science; and Cheney Ryan, Philosophy. Each professor gave a pronuclear freeze argument and then talked in turn during a subsequent question and answer period. Students for a Nuclear Free Photo by Andrew Hanhardt NUKES continued on page 9 Atiyeh vvins second term by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor An estimated 75 percent of Oregon's registered voters turned out Nov. 2 to elect a governor, five representatives to Congress, state representatives and senators, a state labor commissioner and school superintendent, and other local officials. They voiced their opm1ons on everything from property tax limitation to nuclear weaponry to self-service gasoline stations. And they turned their backs on virtually every new tax base proposed, in municipalities, school and utility districts. Statewide It was Vic Atiyeh' s ballgame election night as he trounced state Sen.

Still, few could guess that his re-election would come by such a wide margin. All three incumbent Democrats -- Les AuCoin, Ron Wyden, and Eugenean Jim Weaver -- were reelected to their congressional seats from the First, Third, and Fourth districts respectively.

Toxic shock strikes LCC student by Kerry Harris for the TORCH LCC student Pam Sackett returned home Nov. 3 after a six-day stay at Sacred Heart Hospital where she was treated for toxic shock syndrome (TSS). After feeling ill for two days, Sackett, 20, was waiting at the doors of the Student Health Service when it opened at 11 a.m. on Oct. 29. She complained of a rash on the inside of her arms and legs, muscle aches, tiredness and feeling feverish.

Of course, the Russians were generous in giving us eight days notice instead of the five we had expected. So when Ambassador Dobrynin handed our State Department a note that Monday saying the Soviets would launch a surprise first strike at 2:47 p.m. a week from Tuesday, we had plenty of time to prepare. I checked the newspaper and found that because our car was a red, 1976 station wagon with odd-numbered plates, we were scheduled to leave at 10:32 a.m. on Thursday. Our destination would be the little community of Gerbilford, a pleasant two-hour drive. I could tell our son, Mordred, was delighred by the news as he had a history test coming up on Friday. But Malphasia, our daughter, was recalcitrant. "There's absolutely nothing to do in Gerbilford," she wailed. "Can't we go to the Lake Wenatchee resort lodge instead?'' As for my dear wife, Glynda, she was understandably worried. "I haven't the faintest idea what to wear," she said. But I said I thought World War III would be a come-as-you-are affair and she seemed reassured. • • • At last the Big Day arrived. We were held up for a few minutes at the freeway entrance while our fellow _, Letters motorists, waving and smiling, took turns entering the onramp. But once on the road we cruised along at a steady 55 miles per hour. At the Gerbilford city limits, we passed under a paper banner reading, "WELCOME EVACUEES." And on reaching the Gerbilford Motor Court, we were greeted most warmly by the proprietor, Mark Hawkins. · He said apologetically that Glynda and I would have to share a double bed as he was all out of twin-bedded rooms. But what the heck, we didn't mind roughing it for a few days. Mordred got a bit restless when we had to wait 20 minutes for a table at the Gerbilford Surf 'n Turf Grill. I explained that such inconveniences were inevitable as Ger- bilford was playing host to 769,417 visitors. Malphasia, however, remained disconsolate. A group of very nice local youngsters invited her to the Rainbow Girls Box Supper and Square Dance. But she said afterward that it was "grody to the max" and that's not good. As for Glynda and me, we whiled away the hours reading, playing Scrabble and taking long walks. It was sure restful to get away from the hurly-burly of city life for a bit. All good things must come to an end, though. After three days, we had to bid farewell to Mark and, promising to exchange Christmas cards, we headed back to the city. • • • Naturally, after a ther- Women's Studies Program too import.an1 to cut To the editor: This letter is a response to the elimination ,of the Women's Studies Program and the termination of Kate Barry, the contracted tenured teacher who has taught all classes in the Women's Studies Program for the last seven years. This action is a blatant reflection of the administration's poor attitude and understanding of this program. It basically ..says that "Women's Studies is not as important and is secondary to other programs in the Social Science Department.'' I want to say that as a man who is enrolled in Intro to Women's Studies, this program is essential in the department. All through school we are taught a history that excludes half of the population. The lives of women were many times different from the lives depicted in "Man's History" which is generalized as "Everyone's History." The importance of women's lives must not be diminished or undermined. The Women's Studies Program is the . only place in Lane's entire curriculum which enables women and men to discover this historically evolving awareness that we have been sheltered from in our prior schooling. If we can't pay to get it in a place of higher education, where else can we get it? We can't deprive ourselves of this valuable knowledge, and we can't afford the loss of an incredibly inspiring and articulate teacher like Kate Barry, who is one of the very few people capable of conducting such studies. I also question the ethics around Kate's termination. What is the legitimacy of a contracted, tenured teacher being laid off in the middle of the school year over part-time or non-tenured positions? Then I ask: What is the meaning and purpose of tenure? I feel this action further implicates the administration's attitude towards Women's Studies while using the cry of budget cuts as a front. These decisions will set bad precedents if allowed to be implemented. With budget cuts looming, we must be very careful in trying to maintain the quality of the various departments. We must spread out impending budget cuts through the department so that no one essential program eliminated. If it's Women's Studies today, tomorrow it could be your program. For the security of our future education and for the lives and jobs of teachers, we cannot let these actions go by unchecked. Bryan Moore mo nuclear war, we expected some damage. Sure enough, three windows had been broken in the living room and a direct hit had taken out the coreopsis bed. Luckily, they had finished blooming.

The TORCH Page 3 The problem is distinguis hing between 'Education ' and 'Consultin g' The BAC: Is it a consul.t ing clon e? Analysis by Dale Sinner TORCH Staff Writer • Business Assistance Center? Business Information Center? Is there a difference? A resounding yes is the answer from the operators of the privately owned Business Information Center who have recently criticized LCC' s Business Assistance Center and asked that its name be changed. BIC, the private company, provides (for an annual fee) a variety of information and consultation services aimed at solving problems and improving efficiency of local businesses. BIC performs these services through their five-part resource package, which includes a computer analysis, a videotape library, a periodical (magazine and tabloid) library, seminars and private consultations. LCC's Business Assistance Center is, according to its description pamphlet, a "comprehensive facility that provides educational instruction, counseling, data assistance, and a variety of other resources to the business community" in the LCC district. LCC's center provides these services using its computer resource area, an audio-visual library, a business library and seminars.

As an example, Cutler says, "a lot of people are thinking of going into business and need information. We're doing what we were set up to do -- we're directing them to our classes as we expected to do. Cutler says he believes that tax money should be used to support the center. "Considering all the support the business community gives the college, they deserve a return on their money,'' he says. Cutler adds that the LCC center is "not in competition with anyone'' and that he anticiptes ' the center will refer people to services in the private sector which are beyond what LCC has to offer. Also in response to the claim that LCC's Center is a duplicate of the private sector's efforts in business assistance, LCC Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen says that "due to the recession, a lot of community colleges are going toward a direct assistance approach to revitalizing the economy.'' Cutler concurs. "I want to emphasize that we're here to teach people. We're here to educate. We're not here to solve problems -- we're a resource center. The allegation that we're a clone -- I can't buy that at all. We researched what colleges all over the country were doing. The draf t, part two: Som e enlis t iust for the emp loym ent oppo rtun ities Analysis by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor Patriotism or popular support for a war are not the only reasons America's youth enlist in the armed services. For many, enlistment is a vehicle to employment -- particularly for members of racial minority groups. "It all revolves around unemploymen t,'' says Al Ceasar, a black veteran of the Vietnam War. "Most of the brothers I met (in the military). . . were just like myself. Jobs were tight and they had to survive, so they joined the Army." Ceasar served in the military during the economically prosperous 1960s. Today, nearly half of all young black Americans are unemployed. As a last resort, many have enlisted in the armed forces. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the government. ThenSecretary of Defense Harold Brown noted in June 1980, "Though growing unemployment figures represent a major problem, they may act to im- prove (military) recruiting and retention." The military has seemingly gone to certain lengths to keep its ranks filled, since before 1973 -- when the draft was abolished -- until now. Warm bodies local auto agency where he was employed.

Swomley states that the allvolunteer army in its present form gives educational and career opportunitie s to minorities and the poor which would be denied them by conscription of the kind Nunq and Stennis want. A military draft containing racial and economic quota systems "could mean no job rather than a military job," Swomley believes. Swomley, the Coalition Opposing Registration and the Draft (CORD) and other groups have expressed concern over the government's apparent choice to pump money into the military, rather than provide more funds for jobcreating programs. Such a course of action, it is believed, not only helps tighten the civilian job market, but encourages blacks and other minorities to become part of a system which contains many inequities. '' I could rhetorically ask the question 'who cloned who?' " What the BAC will do According to Rasmussen, there will be a period between six months and a year to establish the goals and objective of the center "which will be to best serve the constituents of LCC.'' These objectives will be established in conjuction with the Eugene Joint Committee on Economic Developmen t, says Rasmussen. Assistant to the President Larry Warford adds that "LCC is joining community colleges across the country in attempting to provide more direct instructional services to business and industry.'' Citing examples of similar centers, including Portland Community College's Institute for Community Assistance, Warford says that the "notion of LCC establisl\jng a Business Assistance Center ... is not in and of itself innovative. We studied what other colleges were doing and put together a center focusing our already existing programs. The precedent isn't innovative." Rasmussen says that LCC will "seriously consider" the request for a name change, but admits that in his judgement "there will be an element of competition. You can't sharply distinguish between education and consulting." ELECT}0 N co nunued from page I of Measure 4 by 120,000 votes. Locally, Measures 7 (Lane County) and 52 (Springfield), which would have placed controls on rental rates in mobile home parks, were defeated.

Page 4 The TORCH Comm oner sees politic al 'rebirt h' by Dale Sinner TORCH Staff Writer On Oct. 27, Barry Commo n er, spokes person and former presidential candidate for the Citizens Party, was in Eugene to support the two Citizens Party candidates that were in local races. During his press conference and lecture, Commoner spoke in depth abou t the platforms and philosophy of the newlyformed third party . After hearing the local candidates' (Laurel Paulson and opening Laura Stin e) statements, Commoner said he sees in them the "rebirth" of American politics. Commoner used the term " rebirth" because of what he called a "disgraceful" situation in the U.S. where less than half of eligible voters actually vote. Says Commoner, "There's something wrong in the US. Many people are discovering that the Republican and Democratic parties are incapable of carrying out the purpose of politics -- which is to discuss the real issues that the country faces. We are getting no leadership from the the or Republicans Democrats." On the theme of political ''rebirth,'' Commoner noted that because the party isn't - TSS continued from page I consulted with a local physician specializing in infectious diseases, and made a "working diagnosis" of TSS.

"It's a very gratifying situation, that there are thousands of people in the Citizens Party all over the country that are willing and able to take politics into their own hands, ' ' says Commoner. When asked about the ,fundamental difference between the Citizens Party and the Republican and Democratic parties, Commoner said it (the difference) is a basic issue that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats would mention. "The issue is that the economic system in this country is governed by decisions that are not directed toward the national interest, but rather toward the corporate maximizing of profit. We say that's wrong. We say we've got to have democratic control over these decisions." Commoner says that though it's a minority position, it has many prominent adherents, including Pope John Paul, who in his encyclical said that "since workers create capital, they ought to have the right to govern how it's invested." Commoner says that "we are convinced that this is the issue of the next decade." When asked whether the Citizens Party has any better front of our eyes," said Reigles, indicating that condition Sackett's deteriorated rapidly from the time she arrived at Health Services until an antibiotic was administered intravenously at the hospital. Sackett recalls that by the time she arrived at the hospital she felt "numb" and had 1311-Market st. Spfld.

' ' Commoner says that though their current analysis of the country's problems have to them brought "acknowledging one of the features of socialism" the Citizens Party is not akin to the socialist parties of other countries which are "based on historic ideologies, such as that of Marx or Engels. We do not represent a historic ideology.'' According to Commoner, his party interprets socialism in a different way in that it doesn't advocate public ownership in the socialist sense, but private ownership by groups of individuals. Commoner calls this '' social governance without social ownership. I'm not talking about regulation of corporations -- I'm talking about social entities having the power to direct investment." This, says Commoner, difficulty. respiratory Although her condition began to improve after two hours of the antibiotic treatment, the exhausted feeling has remained, she says.

She is grateful for t he accurate diagnosis at Student Health: A misdiagnosi s might have resulted in the need for more extensive treatment.

"Even though we' re t he richest country in the world, we aren't efficient. Th e resources and capi tal we have aren't being ef ficiently transformed into the goods and services we need to support ourselves. . .inefficient investing is the main cause of this problem.'' Another major difference the Citizens Party has over the other two is one of military policy. Commoner said that he could see no Hway of fi nding the r esources we need to recover (economically) as long as we have a military budget that eats up trillions of dollars . '' Commoner asserts that the country is ''wrecking itself" because of a military policy that has never been publicly discussed . In closing his lecture, Commoner rei te rated the party's stance, ''The issue that ties it all together is the democratic governance of the economy.

He claims to have seen a tremendous growth in the popularity of New Wave music since last February, when he and cohost Dave Scholz began to play what D'mosher terms "obscure music". Some of it has now acheived substantial commercial success. "We played 'Don't You Want Me?' by the Human League six months before the other radio stations did," D'mosher claims. "We played Flock of Seagulls nine months ahead of the others. We didn't exactly 'break' the records but we did introduce them here.''

LCC offers t 'ai chi classes at the Downtown Center, 1059 Willamette, Eugene. by Norman Nyburg for the TORCH Be still as a mountain, move like a great river. When an old man was able to defeat a group of youthful attackers it was demonstrated that speed or numbers alone did not assure victory. The old man used t'ai chi ch'uan, "the technique of power." Tai chi is based on the principles of yin and yang. These two forces are exact opposites, yet they compliment each other. One cannot exist without the other. This is called the . union of opposites. Examples of yin would be: Moon, soft, relaxed, woman, water, child, etc. Yang would be opposite: Sun, hard, tense, man, rock, adult, etc. To explain in depth, t' ai chi is the place where opposites meet. Some examples: Two rivers flowing downhill to a lake -- the point where they meet is where you find t'ai chi. One side of a mountain is shade, the other sunny. Where shade and sun meet is where you will find t'ai chi. The balance between hard and soft is t'ai chi. The central t'ai chi image is water. It flows, filling available space, rounding out hollows; it closes over, liquid but impenetrable. Beneath the surface is immeasureable depth. Water is a medium of power. Propelled with energy, water is as strong a force as dynamite. It yields, and yet recoils. The softness of t'ai chi is not spiritless or lethargic -- it is the supple and resilient integrity of water. comes flying by, I give him a nudge to help him get to where he is going more quickly. That's the attitude with which all students of the "soft fist" should approach others. The lesson of t'ai chi is primarily a strategic one. Force is neutralized through tranquility and willingness to yield. In other words, the opponent atta,cks, you retreat; the opponent retreats; you follow, sticking like glue. Use your opponent's energy against him. Because ordinary exercises use strength, the result is often tension and fatigue. T'ai chi ch'uan, however, is based on effortlessness. Its movements are free and smooth. All unnecessary exertion is avoided. Less strength is used to produce more strength as a lever is used to move heavy bodie·s. Tai chi ch'uan today has taken on a new translation. Tai chi ch'uan means "polestar boxing." It is a way of discovering the physical and psychological attributes of the polestar, the unmoving pivot among the changing and revolving constellations. Tai chi, by it's very nature, follows all of the laws of human physiology and thus will not harm the body. In the exercise, the actions of the _muscles and bones are coordinated with one's breathing. As a consequence, the internal organs, such as the heart, liver, pancreas, intestines, etc., are massaged and strengthened, leading to a balanced development of the entire body. Tai chi ch'uan can be either slow or fast, but it is always soft. In its attitude toward life and living, t'ai chi ch'uan differs immeasurably from "hard fist" schools. When someone attacks a t'ai chi practitioner, the view is as follows: The person who attacks me is a living human being. He exudes life force. When he attacks me, it is life force that is concentrated and swiftly bearing down on me. Life force does not oppose life force; therefore, I do not oppose life force; therefore, I do not oppose the attacker's force. Those who love do not destroy. So I step aside and permit the attacker's life force to pass through. As he By practicing t'ai chi ch'uan, one will find that his muscles are strengthened, blood circulation is regulated, spirit is stimulated and whole body is refreshed. It promotes digestion, changes the width of the body so that thin people can have their weight increased, altering their weakness to soundness, while overweight people can reduce their weight to proper standard health. Besides, 1t helps to restore sick people to their original state more efficacious than medicine.

She's had an incredible string of hits as a soloist and lead singer for The Supremes. Her concert tours are considered to be some of the best live acts available. She's been called "The Lady of Soul." What else is there? Ross has an answer to that question -- Electric Silk. Her latest album is another work of art and probably better than her last three or four LPs dating back to 1980' s Diana. Side A is like the changing of the seasons. Each song is different in character, rhythm and feeling. This album is to music what ''The Ed Sullivan Show" was to TV variety pro- grams -- a class act all the way. "Muscles" is the first cut on Side A and the first single to be released from the album. The song is paced by fingersnaps while Ross pleads I want muscles/All over his body. Written by Michael Jackson, this cut could go high on the charts. The next cut, "So Close," is a kickback to last year's hit ''Why Do Fools Fall In Love." "So Close" is much slower and contains the sophisticated Ross touch with backing vocals by Luther Vandross and Cissy Houston. ''Still In Love,'' a rock ballad, is a melancholy piece perfectly suited to Ross' vocals and enhanced by subtle rhythm guitar. It prepares the listener for the driving "Fool For Your Love." Far and away the fastest song on Electric Silk, Ross screeches the lyrics on "Fool For Your Love'' in direct competition with the searing lead guitar licks. Both end up producing a top-notch tune. Changing sides brings a noticeable difference. "Who" should gain airplay in nightclubs and on the radio. A remake of "I'm Coming Out" and "Love Lies," a rare weak spot, follow. "In Your Arms" is a glowing reminder of "Endless Love" and "It's My Turn.'' The LP closes with "Anywhere You Run To." Having performed with Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie (to name two), Diana Ross has been surrounded by the best in the business and has earned her place. Moo n's Inchon a sor ry spe cta cle by Jeff Keating TORCH Editor The Korean War was a bloody "police action" which pitted one half of a tiny nation against the other, both sides having one of the world's superpowers as their allies. General Douglas MacArthur, the controversial and tactically brilliant leader of US forces in both WW II and Korea, was a idiosyncratic, German AU TO SERVICE 2045 Franklin Blvd. '9 ~c;; ·~ ~- IS)~ ~<SJ 20 years expert maintenance & repair 342-291 2 militaristic tyrant whose "taking charge" brought the wrath of the US government wherever he took command. Either one of the aforementioned topics would make for an interesting film. Although war films are a dime a dozen, the real impetus behind the Korean "police action" has never been explored. Neither has MacArthur's life been thoroughly and accurately covered, although Gregory Peck gave it reasonably good treatment in 1977's MacArthur. Putting the two topics, together, however, makes for a mess. And "mess" best describes Inchon, a new film which chronicles -- you guessed it -- the Korear: War and MacArthur's part in it. Never mind that the film was backed by $46 million from the self-proclaimed Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Never mind that it has so many cliche-ridden subpiots and scenes that it becomes laughable rather than memorable. Never mind either of those things. Without them the film would still be bad. Inchon is a harbor in Korea where the most famous US attack of the war took place. MacArthur snuck his army in behind enemy lines, cutting them off from home and supplies and forcing them to surrender the harbor. The Battle of Inchon is a fascinating story. Sitting through two hours of Inchon the movie, however, is a battle in and of itself. Moon and Company (director Terence Young, writers Robin Moore and Laird Koenig) have produced a tacky, slipshod look at what could have been an interesting film treatise. Behind the sunglasses, corncob pipe and shoe polish-black hair, Laurence Olivier -Laurence Olivier! -- can't make up his mind whether to present an approximation of MacArthur's mannerisms or cut loose with a satire of same. Ben Gazzara, as an officer with no unit, no defined duties and a confusing relationship to the general, witnesses virtually every gory atrocity committed before the Battle of Inchon. It's a hard role with which to identify even if you like Ben Gazzara. I don't. To add to the general confusion, Gazzara's estranged wife (played admirably by J acqueline Bisset) goes through the process of becoming a refugee so that the audience can identify with the plight of Korea's civilian populace. Moon's $46 million was well spent someplace, I'm sure. It wasn't on this movie, though. Inchon's battle sequences look cheap, shoddy and unprofessional. Much of the military scenery is out of scale and looks ridiculous when photographed, and many battles are discussed instead of shown. Add general disorientation and a jumpy feel to bad performances and cheesy cinematograph y and you've got one really bad film. One can almost feel sorry for Rev. Moon. After finally discovering a way to dig into Americans' pockets without brainwashing their children, he has fallen flat on his face. Inchon, frankly, doesn't wash in any way, shape or form.

The six foot-wide ramp at the west end of the building is the only wheelchair access between ·the two floors. Cyclists occasionally lock their bikes to the handrails of the ramp, Burns said. She hopes that informing cyclists of the difficulties created for . wheelchair users will convince them to park their bikes elsewhere. The posting of signs is being considered, Burns said, but the ramp has so many sections that a number of signs would be required.

A touchdow n is four points, a penalty goal-drop goal is three points and a conversion after the kick is two points. Rugby is a contact sport and totally amateur, but it is not dangerous, according to Neil LaFlamme, a utility player for Eugene's Rugby squad. "Rugby is a very exciting sport and. I've been playing for fourteen years," he says. "I like how every team pulls together and has a good time. It's a great activity, hard work and fun." Although the rugby club competes on a national level, it is responsible for its own fundraising. Many area businesses have taken an interest in the club, including Western Beverage Company and DeFrisco' s Tavern. Rugby films are shown at DeFrisco's on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. Interested persons are invited to attend. The club practices at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday~ and Thursdays on Kincaid Field, off E.

Teams still ·won 't trave l to natio nals by Jennifer Dawn Anderson TORCH Staff Writer Two years ago the presidents of the OCCAA collectively set a standard that community colleges could no longer participate in nationals. The decision was based upon the current economic situation and cited costs for team travel, teacher substitutions while the coaches are gone and unfair recruiting advantage s for teams with squads who regularly traveled to nationals. A major decision-making factor was the comparison of Oregon community colleges with Washington and California schools which do not participate in national competition but have excellent athletic programs. Since LCC teams regularly travel to nationals, the decision came as quite a blow to LCC athletes and coaches alike. But LCC Athletic Director Sue Thompson says the athletic program won't suffer because of the nationals loss. '' I do not see our athletic program going down the tubes without national participation," says Thompson. "LCC has a strong academic and athletic program. Not participating in national competition will not change that at all. We also have excellent coaches who will still provide the required competition for our student athletes." Despite not going to nationals, there will still be regional competition.

Have you ever wished that there was some way for you to get together with your classmates out here? If you're alive and breathing, thoughts such as these have crossed your mind. And finally, after years of inactivity, there is someone who is trying to do something about the graveyard atmosphere of LCC' s evenings. Rick Montoya, an ASLCC senator, is organizing a group of people who want to have some social activities out here. Montoya does not want this to be associated only with student government. In fact, he wants the average student to have control over the activities planned. Right now he is looking for anyone who has an interest in plan- Nanner, Mitch, Tony and Bon -- I 1hink it's time for some EZ messages. Let ·s add some life to this column. -The other one.

If you have an idea, wam to work or want to help, anyway, come to a meeting Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. in the cafeteria. There has been one meeting so far and some of the ideas coming from it are great. For instance: Air guitar battles, world festival, an LCC Gong Show, and many others. One idea in the planning stage is for a holiday dance in December. There is even a possibility of having a beer garden. But right now, Montoya wants student input. As he says, "It's time people got off their butts and started doing something about the sad social situation out here at LCC." So quit moaning and groaning and come to the meeting Nov. 9. It could be the best thing that's happened to LCC and you in a long, long, time. Let us do the work for you.
